Theoretically wouldn't you want to start cutting now if you want abs by summer? You should have bulked in the Fall.

Also jumped back on the cutting train and reactivated my MFP app. Maybe I'll won't look like a weak twink this time when I get below 100kg.

Why cut when you can just grow more muscle to lower your body fat percentage?

I was going to start a TFLC log today and I was deadlifting at the gym and tripped on the hex bar and split my forehead open. What up

It's pretty common to get injured within the first page of posting a log. I made it to the second page of mine before my back gave out.

I dropped the bar coming up from a squat last week and my back bent funny. I somehow managed to avoid serious injury but now I'm kinda nervous about squatting heavy again.

Any recommendations on a fitness app that auto syncs somewhere non-local? I use fitnotes (which I love) but have lost my workout logs several times now due to forgetting to back up before restoring/switching phones/whatever. And no, remembering to back it up isn't an option.

After 2 weeks of eating and drinking too much I feel like a fat sack of weak poo poo in the gym. But feeling sore again is nice.

Also I am moving office buildings to a one without a nice gym so I need to join a gym/HEALTH CLUB or whatever. please post you do's and don't when joining a place thank you in advance

no im not looking at 24 or LA fitness as there's none near me.

I dunno about the owner but the singular trainer at the snap I just left was an rear end in a top hat who would bitch at you for doing deadlifts. It was pretty much like going to a planet fitness except 3 times as expensive.

Ymmv I guess. Mine was cool and cheaper than anything else around (which I guess is still 3x more expensive than PF)

Stitches in your forehead keep you from lifting? Serious question. Don't sound the Lunk Alarm for me judging.

That's what I was thinking, doc said not to get it wet, sweat into it, exert myself too much. I'm inclined to believe them over my self, considering the situation.

do: gotta have free weights
do: must look well maintained.
do: tour place immediately after work to find out how 'busy' they are. Chain gyms are notorious for overselling memberships.

don't: let a hot chick demo a place for you, it's a selling tactic.
don't: forget to tip the receptionist.

Personally.... unless I was weeping lymph fluid or blood from the bandage, I'd prolly lift like 50-60% just to maintain. Nothing that will make you stress and grunt.

You're welcome for the free medical advice! :-D

But I get it... for some reason when I am pushing REALLY damned hard, my left earbud gets forced out of my ear canal. I must be really swole on that side of my inner ear. Get well soon.

Personally I would not lift with a head wound, but that's because I tend to flex the hell out of every muscle fiber in my face and neck when I lift heavy.

It takes weeks to months to lose gains so I don't know what you need to maintain, but otherwise I agree.

Also I'd make sure not to crack my dumb head open again.
